Data Base Access Systems, Inc - www.dbasinc.com
Location: Mountain Lakes, NJ
Business description:
Dbas is a pioneering fiber optic networking company specializing in passive
Ethernet local area
networks and related LED, hub and amplifier technologies. Unlike current
active Ethernet
solutions, Dbas uses passive (requiring no external power source) glass
or plastic
splitter/combiners in its network products in place of the traditional
electrical components. By
eliminating the need for optical to electrical conversion in the switches,
routers and hubs of a
network, Dbas reduces the cost of the network components substantially
and increases the
network reliability and security.
Dbas currently holds 41 patents globally dealing with passive Ethernet
fiber based
communications technology, collision detection methods, passive hub design
and manufacture,
and amplifier technologies for passive fiber applications.
Dbas provides top-of-the-line networking products for every type of network
using cutting edge
technology. The directors of Accelera Capital believe that this hardware
will become an essential
tool in the roll out of broadband to residential customers thus complementing
Accelera Capitals
investment strategy in the hardware segment of its broadband portfolio.
Nonetheless, the
application of the core Dbas technology will reach far beyond just this
commercial broadband
delivery application and its uses currently have military as well as civilian
applications.
